		<description>Oh it is sad mate , look at the  escalating struggle of power in the  empire of our mother church of Egypt ... as some said and i believe from their great pain  that our Coptic leaders over there they drive cars bullet proof and leave us to be shot by  the bullets of the government and others  ...look how is the  bad feeling of our Coptic people over there  that they were abandoned by our church leaders !!!!!!! i believe it reached its peak....some they reckon  it is time the church needs another Moses to stand  courageously and  talk the same language of the current pharaoh of Egypt and its government to release our people the Coptes out of the persecution bondage and to be treated as real citizens with a fair go and complete  rights like their  other patriotic Muslim citizens ...others they say better we keep putting our heads in the sand like the ostrich ...i wonder why they don,t learn from our lord Christ when that soldier hit him , our lord  firmly said, &quot; why do you hit me?&quot; i did not do something bad ...also i believe we can learn from Moses also to stand firm and have faith in God that he will never leave us ... i believe time came and the situation started to explode  ,either our people  to  be released off  bondage or to die in  faith  with dignity ...i t is better to happen at the time of our Pope Shenouda because the lose will be less than later on when  one day he  departs our world ...may God have mercy on all his people every where .... i believe we need to live as Christians or die as Christians as nothing is  there in between ....enough is enough and no more persecution for our people in Egypt ...we are not politicians but we ask  that our people in Egypt to have a fair go with full rights and to live without fear ... we ask our church over there to look  really after those least and poor and support the needy , God  is the checker of the hearts and minds ... every thing is possible in God ...</description>

		<description>Dear father and alll .....now we got back to square one  and to the heart of the matter ,where our God the father was trying since creation and  since our first sin to get  back his favorite and beloved human to his green paddocks according to the divine justice which he fulfilled by initially sending a lot of prophets and at the end he send his only beloved son our lord Christ to rescue that stubborn creature ....just before few weeks ago we had been sitting a group of us from different backgrounds  orthodox Coptes , Greeks , Catholics mainly Christians and we raised that nice issue of LAZARUS VS THE RICH MAN  and that strong dialogue and scenery between heaven and hell and the gap between them and the interest thing that  the souls after departure feels what is happening and recognizing one another , any how the point what we raised in this issue we asked &quot;Who Wants To Be Lazarus  on earth and keep going to heaven and Who prefer to be the rich man ????!!&quot;&quot; oh mates those all no one wants to go back to the days of &quot;poverty , sickness and ignorance &quot;, most of them worked hard and enjoy life in the fear of God ... on the other hand , also they spend their holidays traveling around the world , spend time of the year in the Caribbean , in Varnna beaches  in the black sea , in the Greek monasteries and the Greek islands , even some of us got  own small  airplanes to travel interstate in work &quot;...life  changed  over the years and i believe if you check  any sample of people from our churches including priests and bishops and check about own standard of living i believe most of them they want to own houses and not a house , they want to change the car from model 07 to 09 , they want to put own kids in private school . oh pal NO ONE WANTS TO BE POOR LAZARUS despite the fact that  the human realise that  our materialistic life is a short period in comparison to the great eternal life and its great life  .. look at that big empire of our Coptic Church in Egypt , i believe no body wants to be Lazarus  over there ???!! on the same token look at those least  Coptic people around this big empire over there  most of them  are  Lazarus and  i believe if they could make it to get out of Lazarus shirt  , i believe they will never hesitate  ??? oh pal sickness and poverty is killing them ....their ambitious to look for a local doctor and local medication to treat them and no ambitious  like those inside the empire to jump in an aero plane to be looked after in the best hospitals in the world ....as our lord said in the tongue of our father  Abram  holding Lazarus in his Arms to the rich man , God sent a lot of prophets aaaaaaaaaaaaand they did not want to listen ... then he sent his beloved son ???!!  what more than that the human wants to wake up ????!!!!i believe the time is running out and who has got ears to listen  , To listen !!! as our wisest person who lived on earth king Solomon said&quot; vanity of vanity  , all is vanity &quot;, amen ...</description>
